According to the incident report, when officer Chad Parr arrived on scene, he found Alford sitting inside the home-owner’s pick up truck. When he asked him what he was doing there, Alford reportedly stated he was waiting for his nephew, “Monkey.” He told Parr that the truck belonged to “Monkey.” He was handcuffed and patted down for safety. Parr noted that Alford’s behavior was consistent with someone under the influence of methamphetamine, which he said Alford admitted using earlier in the day.
